SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships and Bursaries Application Closing Date

The period for applying for many ACU Scholarships and Bursaries closed on Sunday 8 March at midnight. As usual, there was a last minute influx of applications and we have nearly completed the huge task of assessing them all.

Many students are asking when they will be advised of the outcome of their applications. We will endeavour to notify all applicants (successful, unsuccessful, and ineligible) of the outcome of their applications by late April, via their ACU student email accounts.

Scholarship and Bursary Payments

Students can expect to receive their scholarship and bursary payments by mid to late-May. They will receive emails in the next week to advise them of the status of their scholarship for Semester 1 2015.

New Scholarship Available

The ACU Canberra Rural Placement Scholarship will open for applications on Friday 27 March 2015 and close at 11.59pm on Friday 24 April 2015. There are 20 scholarships available, valued at $1,500 each. They are available to Canberra students who have already completed a placement and intend to undertake a rural or regional placement this year. The Scholarship will re-open on Monday 27 July 2015 for a second round and close on Friday 21 August 2015.

External Scholarships and Bursaries Browser

Please remember that a number of external organisations also offer scholarship and bursary opportunities to tertiary students. These awards are promoted to students via the External Scholarships and Bursaries page; the Scholarships Office encourages all students to view the browser, especially those who may not be eligible for an internal scholarship or bursary.
